Black Label Society is headlining(it's safe to assume other bands playing will be on ROTR)

Unless the openers are great I'll be passing. I have zero interest in ever seeing BLS live.

I'd see them if they played in my city.

It disappoints me that Zakk abandoned the 'Evening with' format so quickly in order to make another metal BLS record, but I'd still go unless it ended up being a really big support bill of really shitty bands.

One of the worst live bands fronted by one of the most overrated guitarists ever.

Exactly. Their performances are like one big piss break.

BLS is pretty bad. But goddammit if I don't love the hell out of Zakk's Book of Shadows album. Great car-driving rock record.

Continue doing that. BLS is one of the worst sets I've ever seen.

BLS's set before Priest two years back was one of the biggest tests of patience and perseverance I have ever experienced. So bad. So, so bad.

From what I remember, Andrew Metalhead spent their set time taking a shit.

I saw them open for Megadeth last year and was bored beyond belief while pretty much the entire crowd was eating that shit up. Glad too see I'm not the only one who can't stand them.

I like both, but yeah it's true. Honestly the best part about the last 2 times I saw BLS was it was an all seat venue and I was upfront away from MOST of the drunk idiots

Clutch opened for BLS here a few years back. A couple rednecks in BLS leather jackets started yelling at me at the door as i was exiting when Clutch finished up. Apparently I "didn't know what I was missing."

Grand Prairie, four day gap, New Orleans, then Houston seems odd to me.

Houston and New Orleans shows both confirmed by the venues though, and Grand Prairie by AXS.

There is also a Chicago date at House Of Blues

I would imagine they'll open the whole tour and be added to all the fests BLS are on.

Also, lol at my list above be copied to other site(s) without the Philadelphia date (and credit, obviously) which I didn't bother including because it was in the post above ;)

Openers will be The Devil You Know (first US tour) and Butcher Babies. I really like Butcher Babies and will go see anything Howard Jones does so I might go now and just leave before BLS.

I saw that same tour here in Austin. Zakk's guitar solo was one of the most boring things I think I've seen live; so many people left to go take a piss/get more beer during it, it wasn't even funny.

So I'm assuming this is now BLS, Butcher Babies and The Devil You Know?
BLS on Saturday was fun because I was absolutely shit faced due to free booze, but the setlist hasn't really changed at all, the new guitar player is just playing rhythm the same as before and has no stage presence, and Zakk did the same masturbatory solo he's been doing for years. Like Megadeth, I'll probably never pay to see them again.

Yes those 3 are confirmed with one more opener maybe, rumor has it to be some band with Phil Anselmo.
